Directed by John Woo; produced by Tom Cruise, Paula Wagner; screenplay by Robert Towne

With 'Face/Off' director John Woo finally seemed on the right track, but with this Tom Cruise-vehicle he delivers hiw worst American film yet. The first film understood how ridiculous it actually was (remember the chopper in the tunnel), and therefore I was able to enjoy it. That feeling seems lost with this second outing. It goes over the top once every five minutes, and those slow motions only emphsize it.
